Las Vegas. Working for Jay, used by him, double pay from him, all NO problem. Being humiliated, being thrown off, being looked down, NO problem. Falling for him, no problem. Why? Will NOT happen. Even if he keeps kissing me in front of his ex.

My name is Alice and
I'm looking for a high paying job with perks, in the city of Las
Vegas, Nevada.

I stood out in the
hallway trying to find the suite number. It was a pretty classy
looking hotel but this might be the place I'll live for now on,
well I hope. I finally found it and nervously knocked at the door.

I heard someone coming
at the other side of the door and I stood tall and prepared. Take a
deep breath.

A middle aged lady
opened the door and I was not surprised how elegant she looking. This
was Las Vegas, half the people here can look as if they're going to
a prom even though they're way past their high school age.

"Are you…" she
started with that rich voice.

"Hi, my name is Alice
and I'm here for the job interview please." I said with my best
behavior and smile.

She nodded "Come on
in."

I walked in and was
amazed that I never saw such a room even though I lived in Las Vegas
all my life. A hotel suite that look it was designed only for
billionaires…. jeez.

"Please sit down."
said the lady as she closed the door.

I looked around the
huge room and saw the dinning area with the kitchen on the right and
the living room with its flat screen TV and all latest gadgets on the
left. The windows were huge and I saw a huge balcony with a barbeque
and outside furniture out there. On the left side of the room there
was a door and I bet that lead to the bedroom, and on the right it
was the same.

I turned to my left,
sat down on the leather sofa while the lady took a seat at the other
end.

"So, Alice, why do
you want to have this job?" the lady asked straight away. "Why do
you want to be a house maid?"

"I need to earn a lot
of money in order to go to university." I answered truthfully. "And
in being a house maid I could live here and not worry about rent and
concentrate on my studies more. After I finish all the house work, of
course."

She nodded "So you
are young! And alone? How old are you? What about you're parents?"

"I'm nineteen years
old and my parents are long gone. I lived with my grandmother until
she passed away two months ago. I tried to keep the house but it's
just too much for me to handle. But as you can see I've been
cleaning all my life. Grandma couldn't clean the house so I had to
do everything. And I heard this job was very high paying, so I
thought if I worked here for a couple of years I'll finally have
enough to go to university! That's my dream goal right now, to go
studying… in Europe actually. That's why I really want this job…
And I promise you I will clean everything until it shines like
diamond!" It was a long answer, and there were some stuff that I
didn't need to tell her, but I learned honesty was better, always.

The lady laughed at my
last statement but then she smiled sadly. Oh no….

"I can see you're
very ambitious… but you see… this suite is the one you'll be
cleaning after but the person you'll be looking after will not be
me."

I gave her a confused
look.

"It'll be my son.
He'll be living here for a year to study his uncle's business,
which is running a hotel. This is his hotel."

"I see… May I ask
how old is your son?" I asked.

"He's nineteen,
same age as you. And this is what worries me… I do like the idea of
friendship, but not a relationship…" she said slowly raising her
eyebrows to see if I got the huge hint.

Without any thought I
started to laugh. "I'm sorry," I said forcing myself to stop.
"But you see I never had a boyfriend in my life, never. And
frankly I think I'll never get one or even marry for that matter.
It may be because of how my parent's relationship turned out or
because my desire to study is much stronger than the desire to find
my one true love… and no offense to your son or anything, but I'll
rather much like to clean than to kiss him."

Now the lady started to
laugh! "You really want go to school don't you?"

I nodded sincerely.
"Yes ma'am. And I'm sure I could be just good friends with your
son."

"Alright," she said
smiling "You're hired."

I felt all my
butterflies just disappear when I heard the word 'hired'. I let
out a huge breath and grinned. "Thank you so much!! You really
won't regret it!!"

"But I should warn
you, my son has the tendency of having girls but not girlfriends…"

I nodded. "But er,
may I ask what his name is?"

"His name is Jay
Hagel. So please call me Mrs. Hagel."

"And my name is Alice
Stafford. Nice to meet you."

"When do you think
you can start?"

"Right away." I
smiled and thanked the gods for giving me this wonderful chance…

-

My name is Alice and
I got want a wanted. A job with high perks… But I never even
considered if this was the worst decision in my life…

It sort of was…
meeting him.
